Rutgers QB Gary Nova out for remainder of Eastern Michigan game

Following a day where he threw just four passes, Gary Nova left the field during Saturday's Rutgers-Eastern Michigan for the locker room. He remained there for the duration of the first half, but the Scarlet Knights were hopeful he'd return.

He won't.

Rutgers just announced that the Scarlet Knights' starting quarterback will miss the remainder of the game due to injury. Rutgers did not specify what type of injury Nova suffered or any further details.

On his way to the locker room at the half, Rutgers head coach Kyle Flood was asked by the ESPN sideline reporter Angela Mallen for an update on Nova's status. Flood said he had none.

Nova was 4-for-4 for 44 yards before exiting the game. Backup quarterback Chas Dodd took over for Nova and through three quarters, was 3-for-7 for 38 yards and no touchdowns.
